Electric scooter safety
If you look around the streets of London, you'll see people move around in many different ways. Whether it's on the way to work, a journey to the shops, or a sightseeing trip, there are people on buses, the tube, cars, motorbikes, bicycles, and even roller skates. The traffic is already heavy and now there's a new way of transport—electric scooters(e-scooters).
This traditional children's vehicle(交通工具) has become more advanced over the years. And now, scooting has become a cheap and easy way of transport, so it's no wonder they're becoming more and more popular in cities around the world. But following a lot of traffic accidents caused by electric scooters in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety and whether traffic laws should be changed.
Some scooter riders have been seen on pavements(人行道) and others on the road jumping red traffic lights, making the car drivers annoyed(恼火的). In the UK, the law states that anyone mustn't ride a scooter on the public highway or pavement. The police will fine(罚款) the riders up to £300 and take away six points on their driving licence (执照) for doing so. But, despite(尽管) this, it seems that there are still many young people on e-scooters everywhere. And now users are calling on rules to be changed.
The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is reviewing the law. But its transport minister, Michael Ellis, says that "e-scooters are appearing in countries around the world and are an exciting innovation(创新) for which we know there is need. However, safety must always be in our mind when thinking about their use on public highways in this country."
It's true there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter. Despite the fact that only a few e-scooters can be faster than 30mph, they sometimes only have one brake(刹车) and no lights. They also become dangerous if the riders hit something, and however confident the riders may be, larger vehicles on the road make them easy to be hurt. So it seems more work needs to be done to give e-scooters a safe space to travel in.
1. How many ways of transport does the writer mention in paragraph 1?
2. Why do more and more people like riding e-scooters?
3. How will the police in the UK punish the people riding e-scooters on the public highways or pavements?
4. What does Michael Ellis think we must always keep in our mind?
5. What do you think of riding e-scooters? (请自拟一句作答)

### 电动滑板车的安全问题
如果你环顾伦敦的街道，你会看到人们以许多不同的方式出行。无论是上班途中、去商店的路上，还是观光旅行，都能看到人们乘坐公共汽车、地铁、汽车、摩托车、自行车，甚至还有人穿着轮滑鞋出行。交通已经很拥堵了，现在又出现了一种新的交通工具——电动滑板车。
这种传统的儿童交通工具多年来变得更加先进了。现在，骑电动滑板车已经成为一种既便宜又便捷的出行方式，所以难怪它们在全球的城市里越来越受欢迎。但在英国发生了很多起由电动滑板车引发的交通事故之后，人们开始质疑它们的安全性，以及是否应该修改交通法规。
有人看到一些电动滑板车骑手在人行道上行驶，还有一些人在马路上闯红灯，这让汽车司机很恼火。在英国，法律规定任何人都不得在公共公路或人行道上骑电动滑板车。如果有人这么做，警方会对骑手处以最高300英镑的罚款，并扣除其驾驶执照上的6分。但是，尽管如此，似乎到处仍然有很多年轻人在骑电动滑板车。现在，使用者们呼吁修改相关规定。
英国政府正在研究电动滑板车在道路上安全行驶的方式，并正在审查相关法律。但英国交通大臣迈克尔·埃利斯表示：“电动滑板车正在世界各国出现，这是一项令人兴奋的创新，我们知道有这方面的需求。然而，当考虑在本国的公共公路上使用它们时，安全必须始终放在我们的心上。”
确实，骑两轮电动滑板车是有危险的。尽管只有少数电动滑板车的速度能超过每小时30英里，但它们有时只有一个刹车，而且没有车灯。如果骑手撞到什么东西，它们也会变得很危险，而且无论骑手有多自信，道路上的大型车辆都会让他们很容易受伤。所以，似乎还需要做更多的工作，来为电动滑板车提供一个安全的行驶空间。
1. 作者在第一段中提到了多少种出行方式？
七种。
2. 为什么越来越多的人喜欢骑电动滑板车？
因为这是一种既便宜又便捷的出行方式。
3. 英国警方会如何处罚在公共公路或人行道上骑电动滑板车的人？
警方会对他们处以最高300英镑的罚款，并扣除其驾驶执照上的6分。/ 通过对他们处以最高300英镑的罚款并扣除其驾驶执照上的6分的方式（进行处罚）。
4. 迈克尔·埃利斯认为我们必须始终牢记什么？
安全。
5. 你觉得骑电动滑板车怎么样？（请自拟一句作答）
它很方便/很有趣/很危险。
